A Place to Write

We took you for your four month check up today, Aspen. You are 15 lbs (67th percentile for weight) and in the 99th percentile for height. The doctor told me I'd be the shorty of the family. You're going to be a tall girl! He was impressed with your head control. I reported that you're sleeping about 8-3 most nights. Apparently that's normal. Somehow I had in my head you should be sleeping through the night by now. Wish you would! Besides the sleep deprivation I'm loving this stage. You're responding and smiling all the time but it still feels so new that it's exciting every time. You've just started waking up happy in the mornings so that's fun to see. Your smile always seems to have a hint of a laugh in it. You don't just smile, you smirk and turn your head in this way that seems shy. You've got a great double chin and big blue eyes. Your cheeks are so soft and kissable! You loved going to Eisley and Kaybree's soccer games
